Wow, they said they were bringing an old classic Rare franchise back, and now we know what it is. The newest title in Rare’s famous fighting game franchise, Killer Instinct, was just announced at the Microsoft E3 conference. This new game will be an Xbox One exclusive.

In the E3 trailer, we saw some of the old Killer Instinct cast, like Glacius and Saberwulf, in all their next-gen glory. We also got to witness the familiar, insane combo system with which you can land hundreds of hits on your opponent at will.

No release date has been given yet.

Not really, not to be mean, but the original team behind RareWare is gone. Without the original team Killer Instinct is really nothing more than a cash in for Micro$oft.

You sir, are correct! Making this is like saying, Hey Activison is going to make Super Mario Bros. Modern Mushroom 9.

It looks like a Mortal Kombat clone. Granted, that’s what the original was, though only in its premise, but I do NOT have faith in the company that made Battleship: The Game to make a fighter worthy of the Killer Instinct name.
